Fox News 59 in Indy just predicted for Friday, 50/40 Sat 52/30 Sun 60/40 for temps. And after a rain it will still be a damp climate, partially sunny on sat, and sunday. I am going to take my heavier quilts and if need be... vent.

Well, rain or shine, I took the time off to go, so I'll be there later in the day after stopping off at Rusted Moon and the Army/Navy Store for some paracord. Probably closer to 4. I love a good rainstorm!

Well Trout, if you are going I will too. See you there. Lets stay in touch today by phone.

Very envious of ya Mule...if I were off work today I would go too,, Cya there when I get there Friday morning. This rain is going to blow out this morning I am thinking and even if it doesn't ,,,it won't be like last nites storms.

I'd say you're probably better off with too much rather than too little insulation. I've never camped in the exact spot where the hang is, but I've hiked the Syamore loop probably a dozen times or more. . . It's not a very long hike in, so a little extra weight/bulk probably won't be too big of a deal.

I wish I could join you all. I'm gonna have to make it a priority for next year.

Don't alter my altar
don't desecrate my shrine
My church is the water
and my home is underneath the shady pines

OK, the plan was to leave around 0900 today.
Got headache (Migraine is a 10 of 10, this was a 7.5 of 10) Tuesday (planned packing day) so no bending over or moving much & minimal light & sound means no packing.
Wednesday PM, discovered my GPS had been stolen. Spent hours looking for it in case it was lost not took. So no packing AND no GPS.
Just finished packing*, now I need,,,, that's: NEED! a shower. Soon as that's done & after I fix whatever else WILL go wrong, I'm heading out!
